Dear Civic Dance Center Families,

This fall, we will be taking a season off from Handsel & Gretel: The Crone’s Coven. The Spooky Ballet production will return in Fall 2027. We love this show and the unique place it holds in our fall season, and we fully plan to bring it back. Taking this pause allows us the time and space to thoughtfully prepare for an extraordinary upcoming year.

The 2027-2028 season will be a milestone year, including the 50th anniversary of Civic Dance Center’s The Nutcracker, Season 10 of Bakersfield City Ballet, and our 60th Gala. With so much ahead, we are excited to use this season to build, plan, and prepare for celebrations that truly reflect the history and future of our programs.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support, and we look forward to sharing more about what’s ahead in the coming months!

Happy Dancing!

Erica Ueberroth
Executive Artistic Director
